Chair of Trustees, John Stanley warmly welcomes Diana’s appointment, saying, “We are delighted that Diana has joined our Council of Trustees as RABI’s Honorary Treasurer.  Diana joins us at a time when, with the cost-of-living crisis impacting many in farming who are already facing significant challenges and stressors, RABI’s services have never been more needed. 

“However tough it seems, RABI is always contactable via the 24/7 freephone number (0800 188 4444) and has a range of  practical, financial and emotional support available to anyone in the farming community.  One-to-one person centric, expert and customised support is available to meet individual needs for however long that help is needed.
